Fellas = Guys

Damn you have 6 or more older brothers? Jeez. Are you the youngest?

[manker]

Ah, shit. I thought you meant 'brothas' :(

[twisterX]

:lol:

[tesco]

Why?

[Barbarossa]

None, but I've got a younger brother.

Why can't girls vote? :huh:

[DorisInsinuate]

Because girls can't have brothers, dumbass.

[Mike Nelson]

0 older brothers.

6+ older brothas.

[Busyman]

Why?
I'll explain after I get enough votes.

[Busyman]

None, but I've got a younger brother.

And yes, if you want, tell how many younger brothers you have.

[DanB]

0 older but 3 younger

[MagicNakor]

None, but I've got a younger brother.

Why can't girls vote? :huh:

Probably because that half-baked study didn't refer to lesbians, just gay men.

:shuriken:

[Gripper]

3 younger

[Mr. Mulder]

1 younger :01:

Polls should be in the Poll section unless you want them spammed. Fact.

So I feel it incumbent upon me to point out, your poll's very narrow if it's only open to males with the surname "Olders".

[DanB]

The Poll section is no more :ph34r:

Do you want a chance to edit that before I quote it.

:lol:

they have got rid off the forums though and spread them out around the relevant worlds (i think)

Was there no campaign to save the Polls section, with arguments and bannings and stuff. That's a bit pish.

[Barbarossa]

They simply disappeared. Like a wrinkly ninja. :cry:

Frequently, measures of major import glide through these chambers with nary a whisper of debate.

[DanB]

they surely do

[MagicNakor]

Have any of you actually tried to create a new poll yet?

:shuriken:

[manker]

Have any of you actually tried to create a new poll yet?

:shuriken:There are a few bugs still to be worked out.

I made a couple in the drawing room, but, apparently, only I and the moderators can see them :dabs:

While biologists look at hormones for answers about human sexuality, other scientists are looking for patterns in statistics. And hard as this is to believe, they have found something they call "the older brother effect."

"The more older brothers a man has, the greater that man's chance of being gay," says Bailey.

Asked if that's true, Bailey says, "That is absolutely true."

If this comes as a shock to you, you’re not alone. But it turns out, it’s one of the most solid findings in this field, demonstrated in study after study.

And the numbers are significant: for every older brother a man has, his chances of being gay increase by one third. Older sisters make no difference, and there's no corresponding effect for lesbians. A first-born son has about a 2 percent chance of being gay, and the numbers rise from there. The theory is it happens in the womb.

"Somehow, the mother's body is remembering how many boys she's carried before," says Breedlove. "The favorite hypothesis is that the mother may be making antibodies when she sees a boy the first time, and then affect subsequent boys when she carries them in utero."

"You mean, like she's carrying a foreign substance?" Stahl asked.

"And if you think about it, a woman who's carrying a son for the first time, she is carrying a foreign substance," Breedlove replied. "There are some proteins encoded on his Y chromosome that her body has never seen before and that her immune system would be expected to regard as 'invaders,'" he added.

manker and Seedler, with their 6+ brothers, are as gay as a bunch of cowboys hanging out in the Blue Oyster club on Brokeback Mountain.

Breedlove is an awesome name for a researcher in this field :dabs:

Holy shit- this makes things difficult for the fundimentalist poligimist mormons near us- quite against homosexuality, but with 50+ kids in a family, somewhere around the 15th son on has a pretty high likelyhood.

Keep in mind that the study is a merely a statistic but a concrete one. The most concrete one. Cheese's quote came from the most recent 60 Minutes episode. It also had 2 sets of twins where one was gay and the other wasn't.
One boy (I think they were 8) had G.I. Joes and camouflage in his bedroom. The other had doll babies, bed netting, and pink all over the place.

I was waiting for someone else to google and post it. I might have waited forever.:happy: I thought Magic was going to post it.

I'm an only child btw. My mom had one, one of her sisters had none, another sister had a boy (oldest) and a girl, and my uncle (the oldest) had one son...that we all just found out about ....about 9 years ago.:mellow:

I remember one fella saying that after the first born, each subsequent boy has a 33% more chance of being gay.

It's all stats though. The causes are all theory. Genetics have been ruled out.

[tantric]

I remember one fella saying that after the first born, each subsequent boy has a 33% more chance of being gay.
So the fouth son is 99% likely to be a big ponce?

Yeah all the masculine juice got soaked up by the first 3 sons.:lol: :lol: :lol:

How many older brothers do you have? :smilie4:

[tantric]

One.

But only if you count dead people.

[tantric]

So then all of them from #5 on are like over 100% queer?

Man, that's so unfair.
